She is her own protection.
Build confidence by learning the basics of self-defense. The SIB method combines a functional and effective approach to the physical side of defense, while incorporating actions to build your confidence through self-love, planning, and ‘knowledge is power’ modules.
Graceful or tough, peaceful or powerful, soft or sharp. She is not one or the other. She is both.
We live in a world where our safety isn't guaranteed. Instead of being frightened by that fact, I want you to feel empowered by having the necessary knowledge to protect yourself.
At the end of our course, you will have learned to address concerns regarding your personal safety, ways to set boundaries, how to recognize environmental and internal alerts, and a few simple self defense methods. Most importantly, you will know you are capable of defending yourself.
WHAT WE TEACH
BUSTING BARRIERS
One of the biggest barriers to women learning self-defense is accessibility. Few areas offer a course, let alone one taught by a woman. And an in-person event may be an intimidating environment for an already uncomfortable topic. Strong is Beautiful is bringing self-paced, female-led instruction directly to you, giving you the opportunity to learn valuable and potentially life-saving information on your terms.
What’s up with the elephants?
Our logo is both an elephant and a rose — a rose for my grandmother, a powerful woman full of love and grace; and an elephant for the leadership and fierce protection females offer to the herd. Together, they symbolize my belief that any woman can become empowered regarding her personal safety, no matter her age or fitness level.
I started this course because I saw a need. And because I saw a way to use my experience to help other women. I worked for the FBI and served as the head instructor at a martial arts studio focusing on youth and women's programs. I have a masters in education, a black belt in Sin-Moo Hapkido, expertise in Krav Maga, and training in crisis response. I believe that with the right coaching, every woman can protect herself.
